Our Mission

To provide support, compassion, and genuine attentiveness related to the passing of a beloved animal companion.

Welcome! We are glad you've found us.

Animal Hospice Compassionate Crossings is not a place, but
rather a philosophy that promotes healing through shared understanding.
We provide support, compassion, and most of all a
sense of connection. You are not alone in your time of grief, even
if you live in a remote area.

We offer our services to anyone anticipating or coping with the
loss of a beloved animal companion. Our group of trained volunteers
will visit by telephone, postal mail, or e-mail, with anyone
who asks for help in dealing with the loss or impending loss of an
animal. We will support the person with communication and insight before, during,
and after the death.

We provide compassionate and experienced support, direct people toward appropriate
reading material, and encourage people to share together
their feelings of love and loss surrounding their animal. When we
suffer a loss, rarely can we find unconditional support and acceptance
for our pain. When an animal dies, people who do not understand
the depth of love possible between animals and humans
are unable to give much comfort to a grieving person during or
after the death of an animal. But we understand!

Our telephone helpline is answered daily and calls are returned
by a trained and caring volunteer who is there to listen. We are
happy to take your call, no matter where you are located.
E-mails sent to AHCC are also promptly acknowledged.
